I'm wanting to install ceramic tile on the walls and the walls are cedar . I would like to know if I need to replace the cedar with cement board? Electrician Performing the honey do list Ugh. It would save alot of time if I could tile on top of the cedar.

You need a more stable substrate like mikeswoods said.

The tile forum on DIYChatroom isn't bad. Good advice from at least one C.T. member is to be had there.

You're an electrician - break out that gas powered sawzall with the 30" blade and the jackhammer. That wood doesn't stand a chance!
